This guy has been trying to sell this for over a year:
http://www.sdwatches.com/product/nos-ro ... -complete/

He has raised the price around $20,000 over that time. Some people don't understand the time value of money.

On edit: These posts are taking so long to show up.

Wonder if that’s a typo and if he intended $8500?

I don't think so. In this one he went $4990 - $5200 - 5000

I should ask him if this watch comes in the plastic tube like modern Doxa's and my recent Helson....

Hey, the Doxa's come in the "world famous scuba bottle presentation tube", which is some sort of metal.

I know - just teasing.

Heck, the plastic Helson / Fullswing / CREPAS TACTICO plastic tube is actually a pretty decent way to ship a watch. The tube is sturdy as heck, well sealed, and it holds the watch with a couple accessories really securely. It may not be the most elegant thing in the world, but it works.
